We Are Holding
auditions
What is required of company members?
Wildwood nurtures a consistent creative community. We value each dancer and look for ways to highlight their strengths and creativity, and offer opportunities for dancers to grow their creative resumes.
To be a member of the company, we ask that dancers attend our once weekly 45 minute company class (open to the public), directly followed by a 45 minute company only rehearsal time. Currently this is Thursdays from 12-1:30pm, but upon setting the new company, we will adjust the day/time to fit the dancers' schedules.
Wildwood choreographs and films 3-4 dance films each year. Most of our rehearsals happen during our once weekly rehearsal time, but sometimes we host 2-3 rehearsals at other times when we near a filming project. Our filming dates usually coincide with a weekend, and require dancers to commit to a mutually agreed upon date and time frame. 4-6 hours of filming over a weekend is usual. **We do not require company members to be in every dance film we create, but we do ask that you plan on being in at least 2 of them per year.
What will company auditions consist of?
Auditions will consist of 1.5 hours of intermediate dance class:
-
Standing barre, across the floor, and choreography in contemporary/modern, jazz, and contemporary ballet styles
*Please wear something comfortable to dance in (socks, contemporary dance shoes, jazz shoes, or barefeet are all acceptable)
